6. “People hate ads. I hate them myself. I hate TV commercials.
Why should I waste my valuable time watching that lying
garbage, trying to sell me crap I don't need or want?
Sometimes young writers acquire the idea from their
years in school that the world is waiting to read what
they've written. They get this idea because their teachers
had to read their essays or term papers or dissertations.
In the real world, no one is waiting to read what you've written.
Sight unseen, they hate what you've written. Why?
Because they might have to actually read it.
Nobody wants to read anything.
Let me repeat that. Nobody—not even your dog or your
mother—has the slightest interest in your commercial for
Rice Krispies or Delco batteries or Preparation H. Nor does
anybody care about your one-act play, your Facebook page
or your new sesame chicken joint at Canal and Tchoupitoulas.
It isn't that people are mean or cruel. They're just busy.
Nobody wants to read your shit.”
Steven Pressfield
American author

10. Our role is to make someone pay attention to
something they don’t need to.
11. It’s important as a media practitioner to
understand all this and the surrounding
influences that impact cost.
12. Some realities right now.
Media is rising in cost.
Media consumption remains high.
Attention varies by context.
There is more entertainment available
than people can possibly consume.
Our economic growth is sluggish.
Mobile has become the main screen.
13. Media is more complex, nuanced and
challenging than ever before.
14. Many of us don’t pay as much attention
to our family and friends as we’d like to.
And we want these same people to pay
attention to our advertising messages.
15. Think of our job as:
- the cost effective procurement of
attention on behalf of our brands
- The conversion of this attention to
actions that lead to sales
16. Ad Content Attention Persuasion
Exhibit 1 – A simple model of advertising
How to capture
Attention?
How to covert
Attention to behavior?
I. Consumer-focused stage II. Advertiser-focused stage
17. I like to look at four things to help best realise
message distribution:
- The needs of the audience
- Our clients product or service
- Finding fit between audience needs and clients
product or service
- How the audience consumes media; and the
attention level and scale of these channels
19. Three key areas:
Jobs (what are they trying to get done)
Gains (positive benefits they are seeking)
Pains (bad outcomes, risks related to the job

some numbers.
51. Would it work when deciding what to
cook my kid for dinner?
52. Need
• Audience needs audit (needs
food, hungry after a day at
school, wants something tasty,
easy to eat, wants to eat what
the family is eating, doesn’t like
visible veggies)
• Media Dynamics audit (read:
distractions audit – ABC kids,
football outside, muesli bar,
toys, Ernie, tiredness)
Scope
• Value mapping (audience: jobs:
sustenance, something to put in
mouth, meal; gains: easy to eat,
tasty, fun, filling; pains: yuk, too
many vegetables, hard to eat,
too hot, too cold, portions too
big/ product: spaghetti,
bolognaise, in a bowl, water,
bread; gain creators: tasty,
filling, easy to eat; pain
reduction: made for you, served
in an easy to eat way, good
temperature)
• Media mapping: (N/A)
Design
• Value mapping (most important:
tasty, easy to eat, spaghetti, fun)
• Attention framework (High: fun,
tasty, spaghetti; Medium: easy
to eat)
Does it pass the simple test
– 7yo and dinner
